- the bed extender can have first and second side walls 102, 104 and a connecting wall 106 that are not formed of horizontal cross members, but of a surface that is solid across all or some of the vertical dimensions of the walls.
- first and second side walls 102, 104 are attached to corresponding sides of the vehicle bed such that the bed extender extends over at least a portion of a tailgate 37 of the vehicle bed, as illustrated in Figure 1 for example.
- the first and second side walls attach to other portions of the storage bed, such as the bottom surface or the tailgate.
- the first and second side walls 302, 104 of the bed extender 100 are connected with the connecting wall 106 in a telescoping arrangement, as illustrated in Figure 8.

- the tubes forming the side walls 302, 104 have bends 122 such that portions 1 12 which connect to the connecting wall 106 are generally linearly aligned with the end portions 108 of the connecting wall tubes while portions 114 of the side wall tubes are oriented generally along a length of the vehicle bed and connected to the vehicle bed.
- the tubes forming the side walls 102, 104 do not have bends and are generally linearly aligned with the end portions 108 of the connecting wall tubes, but connect to the vehicle bed in a position that is not generally along a length of the vehicle bed.
- the connecting wall 106 is curved, but the end portions 108 of the connecting wall are generally aligned with the portions 1 12 of the side walls which connect to the connecting wall.
- the side walls 102, 104 may comprise multiple connectable segments, but the two segment pairs that connect in a telescoping arrangement in such embodiments connect along lines substantially nonparallel to the length and width of the bed extender, and form an angle ( ⁇ ) within the above-described ranges.
- the width of the bed extender can be defined by a distance between the outer edge of the first end and the second end of the bed extender. In the illustrated embodiment in Figure 8, the outer edge of both the first end and the second end is defined by the outer surface of the mount or connecting apparatus 126, which is used to attach the bed extender to the panel of the vehicle.
- the width and the length of the bed extender can be varied simultaneously.
- the bed extender becomes both wider and longer, or both narrower and shorter, in some embodiments, vehicle bed extenders can have walls which are not formed of tubes, but nonetheless telescope along portions that are angled with respect to the length and wide of the bed extender.
- the bed extender 100 as illustrated in Figure 8 comprises a plurality of struts 1 36.
- the bed extender can have struts 1 16 located at or near locations of the side walls of the bed extender where the bed extender connects to the vehicle bed.
- the bed extender can also have stmts located between the connections to the vehicle bed.
- the bed extender 100 can comprise a strut positioned between the bends 120 in the connecting wall and bends 122 in the side walls.
- Some embodiments can employ more or fewer struts than illustrated in Figure 8.
- the strut can be connected directly to the outer tube in a telescoping arrangement as illustrated in Figure 7, or to the inner tube in the telescoping arrangement.
- the side walls and connecting wail are formed of tubes or other cross members, preferably at least some of the struts hold the tubes in a desired configuration, as illustrated in Figure 9 for example.
- the tubes can have a cross-section having a height and a width, with the height being of a greater dimension than the width, as illustrated in Figures 1 1- 12.
- the struts 1 16 can hold all of the tubes in a vertical orientation.
- a major axis of symmetry in the cross section of a tube can be oriented to be vertical or substantially vertical when in a use configuration of the bed extender.
- the middle portions 1 10 of the connecting member tubes can be vertically oriented when the bed extender is in a use configuration.
- all of the struts 1 1 of the bed extender 100 can be vertically oriented.
- the struts 1 16 can hold the tubes such that a major axis of symmetry in the cross section of the tubes can be oriented to be parallel or substantially parallel to a major dimension of the strut.
- the struts 1 16 at corresponding locations on opposite sides of a plane bisecting the bed extender can be identical or substantially identical.
- the struts can be configured to rest against the tailgate to support the bed extender.
- the struts can have members configured for contact with support surfaces at the ends of the struts 1 16 in some embodiments.
- the locations of bends 120 of each connecting wail tube between the end portions 108 and the middle portion 1 10 can be varied among the tubes that form the connecting wall. For example, as illustrated in Figures 9 and 10, if the locations of bends 120 are closer to a center of the connecting wall 106 at or near a top of the connecting wall than they are at a bottom the top of the connecting wall, the connecting wall 106 has a non- vertical middle portion 1 10 with the top of the connecting wall being farther from the end supports than the bottom of the connecting wall. This arrangement allows the stmts 1 16 to be vertically oriented even though the middle portion 1 10 of the connecting wail 106 is not vertical ly oriented, as illustrated in Figure 9.
- Figures 13-18 illustrate an alternative location and orientation for attachment of a bed extender 100 to a vehicle bed.
- the bed extender 100 can be attached to a vehicle bed with the connecting wall 106 generally adjacent to a front of the bed, such as behind the cab of the truck for example, with the side walls 102, 104 extending rearwardly from the connecting wall 106.
- the connecting wail 106 has a non-vertical middle portion, the connecting wall 106 can attach to the front of the bed in such a position that the side walls 102, 104 extend rearwardly and upwardly, as illustrated in Figures 1 5 and 1 8.
- one or more mounts 124 are connected to the vehicle bed to hold and support the bed extender in some embodiments.
- a pair of mounts 124 can be attached to a front wall of the bed to receive and support the connecting wall 106 of the bed extender 100.
- the mounts 124 can be installed a height above a floor of the bed that accommodates any necessary or desired clearances, such as for wheel wells, etc.
- the side walls 102, 104 of the bed extender 100 can rest on a floor of the bed or, if present and properly located, wheel wells, as illustrated by figures 13-18.
- the mounts 124 can also be installed at various positions relative to the width of the truck.
- the mounts 124 can be generally hook shaped. They are configured to receive at least a portion of one of the walls of the bed extender, as illustrated for example in Figures 21 and 22. In embodiments where the walls of the bed extender comprise tubes, the mount 124 can be configured to receive a portion of one of the tubes, as illustrated in Figures 21 and 22 for example. Preferably, the mounts 124 are configured to fle slightly as corresponding tube portions are moved into the mounts 124, then return toward their original shape such that the corresponding tube portions are retained by the mounts. In other embodiments, the shape of the mounts 124 may vary to correspond to the shape of the walls of the bed extender and to be able to successfully receive and support said walls.
